Title: Apparatus for, and method of, objectively determining and measuring fatigue
Inventor: TUCKER MARLON
IPC: A61B3/032
Filed: 2012-03-05
Abstract: Recently there has been an increase in awareness of work/life stressors and their debilitating affect on human functionality. These stressors can arise from environmental conditions, poor quality artificial lighting and/or too much or too little ambient lighting, poorly configured or ineffectual display screens. The invention includes a method of presenting an image to be viewed by the subject on a background of a first colour, and by way of an iterative process a user is led through a series of screens in order to determine their optimum colour combination. A means is provided for storing reaction times and for varying the image to be viewed in a second and subsequent interval, so as to derive second and subsequent reaction times. An optimum colour is selected that corresponds to the quickest reaction time.

Title: A method of detecting a catalyst of a selective catalytic reduction system
Inventor: ARGOLINI ROBERTO
IPC: F01N11/00
Filed: 2015-12-10
Abstract: The method detects the absence of a catalyst 281 of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system 280 of an internal combustion engine 110, preferably of a diesel powered motor vehicle 100. The catalyst is located in an exhaust pipe 275 of the engine and the method comprises the steps of: determining a value of a parameter indicative of a flow resistance of exhaust gas through the catalyst; and identifying an absence of the catalyst if the determined value is lower than a reference value when compared (805, figure 3). Ideally the value is a mean value (804, figure 3) calculated from a plurality of values (803, figure 3) obtained over time. The values are preferably calculated based upon a formula that uses measurements of (i.) differential pressure of exhaust gas across the catalyst and (ii.) an exhaust gas volumetric flow rate through the catalyst in combination with a correction factor calculated as a function of a catalyst temperature. Preferably the value is only calculated when a differential pressure across the catalyst and a volumetric flow rate through the exhaust pipe are greater than respective predetermined values (801,802, figure 3).
